anyone here collect chogokin? for those not familiar this is term used for die cast toy but with the release of Bandai's Soul of Chogokin series few years back there's renew interest from collectors. I myself has several in my collection - although given away few to relatives birthday as a present. So far I've got hold of below ones - as you can see I'm bit of Mazinger otaku. I grow up watching the series on TV... Great Mazinger Mazinger Z OVA version Aphrodite(?) Minerva-X Hover Pilder Strike Gundam Mazingkaizer RX-78 Gundam RX-78 Gundam HK edition Zaku GM i also have few Bandai PG and MG kits but sadly haven't had time to build any of them. last item I bought was JG Gundam last year. This thing is almost half meter tall! Great display item... never got around to buy matching size JG Zaku though... cheers
chogokin :smt023 Ya..I do collect few of them...but so far i just collect gundam model..the latest one i got is aile strike metal material..i'm looking forward to grab Getter Robo Devil Wing version. Have you hear this one before??
Too expensive to collect down here, but I do find them impressive. Mazinger is really popular in Mexico, since it was dubbed and shown in open TV in the 70s and 80s. The models tend to be centerpieces in conventions and stuff. A friend does collect models like those, though he collects both plastic and metal, no distinction. He's more Macross centered, though - even if he does have some Gundam pieces.
Same goes here..nowdays these stuff is getting more expensive than last year...for this year I have to think twice to buy metal material gundam..though want to take those seed destiny metal material..but budget do talk more..
guss what..i manage to get my limited edition shin getter robo..under aoshima miracle house at ebay.. can't wait for next week..
